Thanks for the lecture. The only modern one I know of that gets played with any regularity is Peter Mennin's. Interestingly, he was Italian-American. His original family name was Mennini. You can Dr. Mennin introduce Maria Callas at the beginning of the first master class she gave at the Juilliard School in the 1970s. Mennin became the school's president after having directed the Peabody Conservatory.
i will be attending a workshop next year where we are looking at three of Gabrielli's works. Thank you for this interesting background on Gabrielli and his Canzone works.
You say italian words pretty good, and you also have a pretty cool channel! Greetings from rome Ps. It sounds a little strange because we now use the word "canzone" as the word we refer to for saying "song" but if you say 1 "canzona" you should then say 2 "canzone" to be grammatically correct (is not "canzoni" because that would be the plural of a male version of the word)
I try to do my best with pronunciations, but they're not always easy to figure out! I saw "canzoni" used in several things published by a couple of reputable musicological institutes when I was preparing this video, so clearly this is a wider issue in the canzona-discussion corner of music! I'll be sure to stick an "e" on there from now on-thanks for letting me know.
Gabrieli is life.
Lovely video

Could you do another one of these videos on form for fantasies, like Liszt’s?
Finally a new video!
PS: Have you ever written a Canzona?
No, but I did do a lot of research into them for a term paper on Gabrieli (which I was able to turn into this video!)
Enjoy your videos. Check out Peter Menin's Canzona, for Band. Fun piece!
Are those piano malet book ends?
They're actual piano mallets! I got some from a retiring piano technician, and they've decorated the front of the top shelf since.
So Canzona is just another name for Fugue?
No. It's more a predecessor of the sonata.
@@ClassicalNerd what's the predecessor of the fugue?
@@mhdfrb9971 You might be thinking of the ricercar.
@@ClassicalNerd thanks!
